Opened in 1967, the Chico Nut and Gift Shop occupies a converted
farm house adjacent to the receiving station that serves local
growers. During harvest, co-op members deliver their almonds
to the receiving station for sampling, weighing, and shipment
to Sacramento for processing. It was Blue Diamond's® first
station to receive almonds in bulk instead of in bins, and
to operate a scale featuring automatic sampling. The Chico
Nut and Gift Shop was Blue Diamond's® first outside of
Sacramento.
